loudness increasing throughout. Enjoy.
Intro (accoustic + accordion)
 C   G   Bm7   Em(x2)
(accoustic only)
Why didn't you Ccome when I beat my Gdrum
And screamed off my Bm7head out into the Emnight
Scared of the Cslums, afraid of the Gguns
Don't wanna Bm7see the hoodlums Emfight
Hey hey Chey, na na na Gna
Don't wanna Bm7see the hoodlums Emfight
Hey hey Chey, na na na Gna
Don't wanna Bm7see the hoodlums Emfight
(enter accordion)
I was gonna Ccome when I heard your Gdrum
And you screamed your Bm7head off into the Emnight
I grew up arCound different part of Gtown
But even the Bm7universes colEmlide
(queue drums)
Hey hey Chey, na na na Gna
Even the Bm7universes colEmlide
Hey hey Chey, na na na Gna
Even the Bm7universes colEmlide
(number of instruments increasing further)
There was no Cletter No family Gmatter
And by the Bm7castas we don't divEmide
